Are any of you Gumshoe fanfic writers? I really think that there's not enough Gumshoe fanfiction in the world. Well, considering when I look up Gumshoe on fanfiction.net, my stories are almost 1/4 of the page...
I really think that Gumshoe has great potential as a character. He's goofy, sure, but there's more to him than that. he's loyal and determined to do what's right. How many times has he helped Phoenix find the truth only to get his salary cut, or even fired?
And how many times has he saved the day? He's gotten Phoenix out of so many situations, even against the mafia.
So I think his character is deeper than most people think.

However, I can't bring myself to read kinkier stuff with him because he's the kind of guy that would be in the perpetual friend zone for me.
Yeah, personally, I don't see Gumshoe doing much in the way of relationships. I mean, in 3-3, he acts like a third grader with his crush on Maggey Byrde. It's cute, but if something ever happened between them, I don't think he'd know what to do.
